Max Verstappen had to settle for second place in Austria. Charles Leclerc was fastest at the Red Bull Ring and took his third win of the season. Verstappen says he was never able to really attack Leclerc.
"It was a complicated day. It felt like we were struggling with the tires and we did that on all compounds. We had too much degradation to attack Charles, but second place is a good result on a complicated day like today," Verstappen said after the race.
Verstappen didn't mind the orange smoke and although he would have liked a win, he is happy with P2. "No, it was good, a nice color to see," the Dutchman commented on the orange smoke from his fans.
"It's great to see so many fans here in Austria and second place is still a good result," the Red Bull driver concluded.
